michsnowfreak Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 This will be awesome if these lows come true. Would be impressive for late July. MOS has DTW in the mid to upper 50s. It would be nice if the radiational cooling could overpower the uhi for a change, because July 24th is the warmest record low of the entire year for Detroit. Current record is 52F set in 1974.

Record low here (UGN) is 49°, 2000. If the winds aren't offshore I can forget about anything close to the record. 48° would be a shock to the system! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Will be nice to open the windows. 2013 continues to be just a bit different than 2012. LAF 90º+ days, through July 22: 2012: 34 days (5 days of 100º+) 2013: 5 days IND 90º+ days, through July 22: 2012: 35 days (5 days of 100º+) 2013: 4 days I like this version better.

SchaumburgStormer Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Managed a fairly small .15" of rain last night. Need a good soaker, but cooler weather should help keep the plants from getting torched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Near steady temperatures of 72° outside with passing clouds. Hard to believe this is July 23rd. RPM was even showing LE Showers this afternoon and tonight. Scattered though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Record low at LAF for July 25 is 55...one of the warmer ones for late July. I think we will beat that. Record for the 24th is 53...that one could be in some jeopardy. COOP records (longer time period) for these dates are upper 40s so this is one of the cooler airmasses for this time of year.

hawkeye_wx Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Picked up a measly 0.25" of rain last evening to bump the July total to 1.26", which is only slightly above last year's July total. The weather today is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, 12z MEX has 52º for tomorrow and 53º for the 25th. MAV the same and MET reversed with a 53º and 52º. Pretty solid agreement. IND overachieving today and hit 90º. Makes for the 5th one of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty chilly in central MI! I think tomorrow night ends up the colder of the two nights for us along the lake. Also wouldn't be surprised if places along the lake don't make it out of the 60's tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wouldn't be surprised if places along the lake don't make it out of the 60's tomorrow. Interesting wave stats above. This is quite unusual for late July. The colder than normal Arctic may be having some effect on the pattern. Pretty cool watching the clouds blow in off the lake with the moon coming up.
